1 FACILITY MANAGEMENT DEFICIENCIES IN ACUTE CARE SETTINGS Presented by: Alise Howlett, Assoc. AIA,CFPE, CHFM Standards Advisor, EM/PE/LS HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 1

2 FREQUENT PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT FINDINGS 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 2

3 Physical Environment Findings Frequent Physical Environment Findings Absence of PE policies and no review/update in 36 months Lack of credible security assessments Hazardous Materials lists & training Eyewash stations issues Lack of knowledge of Fire Response Plan by staff No inventory of utility system components Improper pressure relationships 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 3

4 Physical Environment Findings Absence of PE policies and no review/update in 36 months. 1. Building Safety 2. Building Security 3. Hazardous Materials & Waste 4. Fire Safety Control 5. Medical Equipment Management 6. Utility Systems Management 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 4

5 Physical Environment Findings Required Management Plans Building Safety Building Security The organization has to have policies that identifies and minimizes security risks to patients, visitors, and staff as well as addressing areas they believe are security sensitive. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 5

6 Physical Environment Findings Hazardous Materials & Waste Program The organization must have a system to identify, handle, process, and dispose of hazardous materials and waste Each service area of the hospital must have their own list of hazardous materials used/created in their area. Lack of staff training for access to SDS data 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 6

7 Physical Environment Findings Eyewash Stations & Emergency Showers When there is a need for eyewash stations, they must comply with ANSI Z All eyewash stations and emergency showers must be flow-tested weekly (long enough to flow any stagnant water from the supply pipe), and inspected annually. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 7

8 Physical Environment Findings Eyewash Stations & Emergency Showers When you have caustic/corrosive materials and there is no eyewash station, the organization needs a risk assessment regarding the need for an eyewash station to adequately prove an eyewash station is not required. Safety Data Sheets will specify if an eye wash station is required, by the listed emergency treatment of flushing the eyes with water for 15 minutes. HFAP and CMS do not specify the location for eye wash stations related to need. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 8

9 Physical Environment Findings Written Fire Control Plans The hospital must have written fire control plans that contains provisions for: Prompt reporting of fires Extinguishing fires Protection for patients, staff and visitors Evacuation Cooperation with fire-fighting authorities 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 9

10 Physical Environment Findings Fire Response Staff Training Staff must be trained on the proper procedure to follow regarding fire situations; Where are the fire barriers? Staff includes employees, contract-workers, volunteers, students, physicians, and chaplains. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 10

11 Physical Environment Findings Plant Equipment Inventory The hospital must have a written inventory of all plant equipment available for use. All means all every piece of plant equipment must be on the inventory. Check areas for independent HVAC units to ensure accuracy. NOTE: Often overlooked are portable fans, portable utility pumps, approved space heater, etc. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 11

12 Physical Environment Findings Ventilation, Light & Temp. Control The hospital must have proper ventilation in appropriate areas. All soiled utility rooms or decontamination rooms must have a negative air-pressure relationship to surrounding areas. All clean utility rooms or sterile environments must have a positive airpressure relationship to surrounding areas. Check the policy for determined testing intervals and review results. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 12

13 FREQUENT LIFE SAFETY FINDINGS 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 13

14 Frequent Life Safety Findings Fire Alarm Install & Test Fire Sprinkler - Install & Test Medical Gas Systems Generators Utility Systems Door Locks Facility Demographic Report FDR) Suites Signage Fire-Rated Barriers & Ceilings Life Safety Drawings 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 14

15 Fire Alarm System - Installation Smoke detectors mounted too close to air diffusers Must be a minimum of 36 inches from supply and return air diffusers 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 15

16 Fire Alarm System -Installation Smoke detectors are mounted more than 12 inches below the deck/ceiling 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 16

17 Fire Alarm System - Testing Not all devices tested (Interface relays; Devices not available) Interface relays connect the fire alarm system to other systems, such as kitchen hood suppression systems, smoke dampers, magnetic locks, etc. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 17

18 Fire Alarm System - Testing No device inventory identifying Pass or Fail decision NOTE!! Every individual device connected to the fire alarm system must be accounted for in a documented list (i.e. inventory), with a Pass or Fail decision. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 18

19 Fire Alarm System - Testing Report not signed by technician (Every test report must be signed by the technician performing the service) Report does not reference correct standard and edition (NFPA 72, 2010 edition) NOTE!! Verify all reports against standard for the required eight (8) elements of reports. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 19

20 Sprinklers Install. & Maintenance Ceiling mounted objects are mounted too close to sprinkler heads. Hospital policy regarding 18 rule not followed Dust and dirt on heads (checked annually?) 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 20

21 Sprinklers Test & Inspection No annual inspection for sprinklers and pipe/hangers (visible from the floor) Many issues with valves & gauges: Failing to inspect control valves on a monthly basis Failing to exercise control valves on an annual basis Failing to inspect pressure gauges on a monthly basis Failing to internally inspect the check valves on a 5-year basis Failing to replace or calibrate pressure gauges on a 5-year basis 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 21

22 Sprinklers Test & Inspection Failing replace dry sprinkler heads on a 10- year basis Failing to test or replace quick response sprinklers on a 20-year basis Failing to test or replace standard response heads on a 50-year basis. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 22

23 Medical Gas Systems The most common problem surveyors find with medical gas systems (shut-off valves excluded), is failing to test and inspect according to their policy. Another common problem with medical gas systems is failing to make repairs recommended by their testing vendor. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 23

24 Medical Gas Shutoff Valves access to them is obstructed labels on gas valves do not match the rooms they control 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 24

25 Generator Inspection Electrolyte levels (specific gravity) on batteries not being recorded during weekly generator inspection. NFPA , section requires weekly recorded of the battery electrolyte levels (i.e. specific gravity) or electrical conductance testing (sealed lead acid batteries) Run times for testing and cool down not recorded 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 25

26 Utility Systems Junction boxes located above the ceiling do not have cover plates installed Access to electrical panels is obstructed A minimum of 36 inches of clearance is required [NFPA ,110.26] 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 26

27 Door Locks Doors in the path of egress are locked, and do not comply with the Life Safety Code NOTE: This will likely lead to a Condition Level Finding. Non-compliant locked EXIT doors may lead to an Immediate Jeopardy decision. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 27

28 Door Locks Delayed egress locks on doors in buildings that are not fully protected with sprinklers or smoke detectors, as per of the 2000 LSC. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 28

29 Door Locks Inappropriate use of Clinical Needs locks. Clinical needs locks are permitted in behavioral health units (i.e. Psychiatric, Alzheimer s, Substance Abuse unit), and cannot be used for infant security or on other units. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 29

30 Door Locks Facilities do not review sections 18/ to verify compliance. The need for infant abduction security DOES NOT over-ride the need for safety, they must work concurrently. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 30

31 Facility Demographic Report (FDR) Not completed properly (unanswered questions) Every question must be answered on the FDR. Construction type not listed in NFPA 220 nomenclature Type I (443) Type I (332) Type II (222) Type II (111) Type II (000) Type III (211) Type III (200) Type IV (2HH) Type V (111) Type V (000) 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 31

33 Means of Egress Suites Too large Not enough exits (100-0 max. travel distance) Suite barrier walls do not meet corridor requirements Corridor entrance doors do not positively latch Exit signs directing the means of egress from the corridor into and through the suite to get to an exit 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 33

34 Signage Exit signs not installed where the path of egress is not readily apparent 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 34

35 Signage No Exit signs not installed where a door may be confused as an exit ( Not An Exit not acceptable) 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 35

36 Signage No Exit signs must say No Exit with the word No 2 inches tall, and the word Exit 1 inch tall 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 36

37 Fire Rated Barriers Unsealed penetrations and improper patching in fire Top of fire rated walls do not go to the deck above. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 37

38 Ceilings Holes and gaps in ceiling larger than 1/8 inch Ceilings that have smoke detectors, heat detectors, or sprinkler heads, must have a monolithic seal to trap all heat and smoke. Any holes or gaps greater than 1/8 inch will impair these devices. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 38

39 Life Safety Drawings Drawings do not include all of the required features Rated walls Smoke compartments Travel distances Boundaries & travel distances for Suites of Rooms Exits (Exit Stairwells, Horizontal Exits, Exit Discharge) Hazardous rooms Smoke partitions Background plans do not accurately reflect as-built conditions 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 39

40 Fire Rated Door Assemblies Fire-rated label covered or missing (i.e. painted) Door not fire rated If the Life Safety drawings identify the wall is a fire rated wall, then the door must be appropriately listed as a fire rated door. Surveyors will go by what the LS drawings say. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 40

41 Life Safety - Reminders Doors Corridor doors must latch & open to 90 degrees Staff must be trained not to impede the ability of the door to latch Construction Type The wrong type for the number of stories and sprinkler coverage of the building Sections of the structural steel have no fireproofing. 5/21/2018 HFAP A better healthcare survey experience 41
